overview for 4rkal

It can also function as a way for people from censored countries to access/interact with the source code. As I have said before as a privacy project you cannot afford to keep the code in one vulnerable place (GitHub).

Selfhosted tor gitea instance of monero source - Fundraiser (kuno.anne.media)

I believe it is extremely important to have an archive of monero's source Incase something bad happens.

You can not call yourself a privacy project and rely on githubs good will!

That is why I have made this fundraiser to help me cover the electrity and maintenance costs for one year of (self)hosting. I hope you guys can understand how important this is and help me cover those costs by sending any amount of monero to the fundraising address.

For the people who missed it:

Monero os is a live linux system that starts mining monero on boot. It is inspired by nicehashOS but is completely free and open source.

After some time of developing MoneroOS. I finally implemented the most requested feature. P2Pool! I am currently looking for beta testers to find issues and report back. You can join our public matrix room if you are interested #moneroOS:matrix.org.

You can grab the latest release from https://github.com/4rkal/MoneroOS . Read about how P2Pool works on MoneroOS here https://github.com/4rkal/MoneroOS/wiki/P2Pool

Kusari out now - Self-host your own Monero node for full privacy in c/kyun@monero.town

Sounds like alot of maybes. I don't understand why you need to pay someone to run a node but ig it's your money. You can also run a pruned node it uses ~70% less storage. I'm running mine on hdd. Just sync on SSD and copy over to hdd. You can prolly get a le potato for 35$ a cheap hdd for 20$ and run it at home. Or just get a cheap computer from Facebook marketplace or something. This way you own the hardware for a lifetime while actually contributing to decentralization.

But the hosting providers have physical access. You don't. They have controll you don't. You can't argue decentralization if all the nodes are owned by a couple of hosting providers.

What's the point though? A 3rd party (kuyun) still has full control over it. No different that doing it on AWS except that you pay in Monero. This is not good for the network since again one party has control and is being payed to host them.

Shorting Monero and then attacking would most probably be the most profitable.

Does p2pool light mode affect profitability (monero.town)

Basically title. Does running with the flags --light-mode or --no-randomx --no-cache affect profitability? Not talking about hashrate.
